Devilsfan118 Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) I guess I'm in the opposite court with Bratt - I've always been low on him with his typical disappearing act for 2/3 of the season. He had a phenomenal season last year, but with scoring up across the league.. Let's just say, if he would be the major piece going to Calgary for MT, sign me up. IMO that'd be selling high on Bratt and I think it'd be a great deal. 1 hour ago, MadDog2020 said: They may have to if they want Tkachuk. I don’t wanna trade Bratt, but for Matthew Tkachuk? I’d have to do it. I'd have to imagine Bratt would be signed by now if the contract ask was reasonable.

I think I agree with the latter, I’m not sure Bratt is going to be a 72 point guy every year, I think it’s more likely he won’t be and that trading him now would be trading him at a high point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I’m not trading Bratt because we have enough pieces without including him to produce a package Calgary would accept. If they absolutely insisted, then I’d explore that avenue. But I think Bratt is here to stay as a 70-point player in this league. You keep him if you can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary will send one top forward for another top forward plus more stuff. Of course that's their "ask". That's not what they're going to get though.

So basically it will take Bratt, Holtz, and a 1st. I would do that (with an extension ofc). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzey Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I wonder if Gritsyuk would count as a premium prospect considering he won khl rookie of the year. I’d be much more comfortable doing something like 1st, Bratt, Gritsyuk, Balh, Johnsson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will want Holtz, Luke, or Nemec. And Holtz is the only one of the 3 I’d be comfortable moving. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like with MT, you gotta wonder if Bratt will sign if he knows he is getting dealt or even if the team needs to be upfront with him about it. It would be underhanded but I am not sure what official obligation there is from the team to be upfront with Bratt before he signs. Bratt has said he wants to be here(for whatever that is worth).

One could argue he’s a premium prospect given his development. Maybe they can be convinced to take him plus Sharangovich + 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kind of hard to rank them after the big 3 (Luke, Nemec, Holtz), but I’d probably have at least Zetterlund and Gritsyuk ahead of Thompson right now.

We don’t know if he’d hit 100 points again but there’s a very good chance Bratt, Holtz, and the 1st would combine for well over 100 points. We lose a lot of depth trading those 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tkachuk does bring a lot more than just scoring (he’s one of the top pests in the league right now), but I get it - that’s a lot to give up. Normally I’d say too much, but he really is just exactly what we need. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 If this trade truly is Bratt-Holtz-2023 1st round pick…… I think a lot would hinge on if they feel that Mercer can be a top 6 forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I don’t know if the amount given up will be as big as people are suggesting. Calgary is in a position where they have to move him, which takes a lot of power out of their hands. Plus they have to move him to a team that he will sign with if they want a bunch of picks and prospects. No one is going to sell the farm for a rental. Calgary might be getting a lot less than they actually want 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 At this point, I just wanna know if Tkachuk has any interest at all in coming here and signing long-term. If not…hopefully Bratt gets re-signed without too much fuss, and we’ll see if a player like Tarasenko becomes a possibility. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tkachuk and bratt switch; holtz seems more and more like a guy we prospect hug until they’re out of the league. Holtz isn’t a “depth” player even if he does pan out. Palat-Hughes-Mercer Bratt-Hischier-Holtz Vs Palat-Hughes-Tkachuk Sharngovich-Hischier-Mercer Still not really sold to be honest. Hischier’s production with Bratt drops.
